With the code for connecting to Microsoft's exchange servers GPL'd from Novell's Evolution
Webdav for exchange is hardly a trade secret (it doesn't require Novell to figure it out), the only hard part to it is finding out some of the black art that Outlook performs with undocumented properties (proptags).
I can't think of anything that rivals Outlook/Exchange for productivity and collaboration in corporate environments, which is MS's biggest market. And please, don't say Groupwise!...
Time to rehash those tired arguments about why MySQL is not a real database, and (Postgres/Oracle/SQL Server/Access/SAPDB/Ingres/etc)
which of these does it support:
triggers,views,stored procedures,cursors,temporary tables,functions,datatypes,full text index, scheduled replication
?
Q2: Doesn't having a patent on Sender ID complicate the process of getting it adopted as
an IETF standard?
A: No. It should not. There are dozens and dozens of patent rights that have been disclosed to
the IETF that may cover IETF standards. See http://www.ietf.org/ipr.html for a complete list. We
are not aware of any of these patents complicating the standards process especially where the
patent owner has provided an assurance that it would make licenses available on a royalty-free
basis with other reasonable and non-discriminatory terms and conditions as Microsoft has done
here.
http://www.sloppycode.net apparently that reloads constantly in PR 1.0 but doesn't on my 0.9. So there you go, I've proved you wrong. Also PR 1.0 screws up with an MS proxy.
Will this be enforced on existing software or is it just new software? All those applications that steal the outlook look and feel (or the components that mimic outlook) could mean Microsoft rake in a fortune.
There's a half life 2 mod in production that promises to be a virtual chat room, but will of course have the benefits of hl2's physics and graphics (people able to knock a coffee of the table, for example), instead of the early-90's looking wrml. I imagine the chat will be like ever other multiplayer chat interface.
Which brings you back to the old conversation/argument - how can companies make money from software that has its code available to all, and can have derivative works
The marketing,sales,legal departments are the ones everyone vents their anger for. I'm sure the 5000 or so developers MS has were/are as keen to have a secure operating system that is bugless, as any open source developer.
I wasn't comparing.net's button to swings, i was comparing version 1/2 to the new avalon model.
As far as drawing is concerned, dot net 1 probably draws about as well/fast as the most optimised swing app does, fortunately the.NET team have improved their winapi wrapper calls to be a lot speedier in version 2.
Challenge response seems to do the same thing - block all email except the ones you want through. Works well for me (I use http://www.spamarrest.com/ which is pretty good for $30 a year, saves me downloading the emails first)

I plan to buy steve.jobs and sell it back to him for millions.

firefox downloads: 5 million
IE users (windows): > 300 million worldwide
The firefox revolution is happening in every techie bedroom across the states.

Can anyone explain to a non-sys admin how sender-id will work, or a link to a noddy explanation

In some ways, i wish we had Thatcher back. Whatever her faults, she didnt take crap from anyone
And in a single sentence, your previous 'insightfulness' is made void
You could always remove what you don't want manually: http://nuhi.msfn.org/ (including IE,WMP,COM,DCOM, MSN...)

My IE binary was compiled 4th August 2004. Maybe you should go to http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com/
You know you use msn too much when you start winking at people after you say a sentence, or try to make an :S with your mouth.

I remember a statistic in a Bill Bryson book saying that 2% of the US's yearly electricity use is from workstations left on over night.
